very authentic, just like my mothers
biryani is a pan fry mix of meat and rice, the rice is high quality, the spices perfect, and the onions are used to add a nutty flavour. same trick is used in dal too. while it seems disappointing to many, it is actually very close to authentic biryani, well done. to avoid dryness though, add a teaspoon or so of water or milk to the dish before cooking. on its own its probably dry for many, so best eaten with an accompanying 'saucy' dish.

Nasty
Dry, tasteless and rubbery chicken, please bring back the old formula Waitrose, this is such a horrible disappointment.

Delicious
I don't know why this has some poor reviews, but I like it because it is flavoursome without being too greasy like other ready meal curries since - it has no oily/creamy sauce.

Disappointing
We bought this as part of a Friday night curry treat but were so disappointed when we got it home and cooked it. Same as other reviews - poor amount of chicken which was dry and tasteless and needed veg and a sauce to make it edible. Ate the dry bits of chicken and threw the rest away which was a waste.
